Ultimate Guide to Minimalist and Light Luxury Interior Design Styles for Large Homes Over 100 Square Meters

For large homes over 100 square meters, 50% of homeowners choose minimalist style, 30% prefer light luxury style, and the remaining 20% opt for simple European, European, or new Chinese styles. Minimalist style is often misunderstood as “cold” or “sterile,” but it actually includes warm and neutral color schemes. By incorporating warm-toned wood floors, furniture, and decorative elements, you can create a cozy,简约, and healing minimalist atmosphere that feels inviting.

Warm minimalist living room design

Achieving minimalist design requires attention to detail: 1. Unified color schemes with a main tone, typically using black, white, gray, or wood as the base. 2. Simplifying hard decorations by avoiding excessive elements and focusing on clean lines. 3. Emphasizing whole-house custom furniture, which enhances storage, adds层次感, and defines the aesthetic with sleek, floor-to-ceiling designs.

Custom minimalist cabinets and storage

Light luxury style builds on minimalism by incorporating premium materials like marble, metal, and high-quality finishes to create a sophisticated, high-end lifestyle. It focuses on subtle elegance rather than overt luxury, using clean lines and refined details to evoke a sense of quality and comfort.

Elegant light luxury interior with custom elements

This style can vary, including modern light luxury, French light luxury, and other interpretations, all requiring skilled design to balance simplicity with opulence. Custom furniture plays a crucial role here, using materials such as lacquered doors, stone countertops, and metallic accents to elevate the space.

Xuan Yi Home Renovation: Transforming a 90sqm Old Apartment in Huangpu District into a Spacious and Timeless Living Space with Professional Interior Design

As a non-professional in home decoration, I believe that interior design isn’t just about following trends but creating a timeless space that withstands the test of time—I don’t want to grow tired of it after just a couple of years.

Six years ago, I purchased a 90-square-meter apartment in Huangpu District as a marital home. Over time, the decor felt outdated, so I decided to demolish and renovate it completely.

With no time to select materials or supervise construction, and fearing a DIY disaster, I opted to hire a renovation company to save hassle.

However, I was wary of unscrupulous firms. After researching 11 companies online and offline for over two months, I narrowed it down to four for in-person visits. Some were evasive about quotes and whether they had in-house workers, but Xuan Yi stood out by providing worker rosters, individual wage bills, and transparent contracts listing material brands, models, and prices. They also showcased past renovation cases, which felt reliable.

In the old living room, a partition cabinet made the space feel disjointed and blocked light from the balcony, creating a dim and oppressive atmosphere. Xuan Yi’s designers removed the cabinet and extended tile flooring to the balcony, allowing natural light to flood in, making the area appear brighter and more spacious. Accent lights added a cozy, hill-like ambiance to the walls.

A earth-toned sofa paired with a lounge chair lets me relax while enjoying the view and sunlight. To save space, the other side of the balcony features built-in custom cabinets for a washer-dryer set, flattening the surface and storing杂物.

The original kitchen was narrow and cramped, with poor ventilation causing smoke issues. By enclosing the balcony and merging it with the kitchen, the space expanded, making meal prep convenient for two people.

The refrigerator fits perfectly into a high cabinet, saving space, while top-mounted cabinets prevent dust buildup and reduce cleaning needs.

The small master bedroom lacked storage for clothes, so we compressed the master bathroom to create an L-shaped walk-in closet, keeping the bedroom tidy and the bathroom functional.

Despite the limited area, Xuan Yi’s design transformed the old, cramped space into a warm and expansive home, with every square meter utilized efficiently—the 90-square-meter apartment now feels like 120 square meters.

Xuan Yi Home Renovation: Transform Your 90m² Apartment in Huangpu into a Spacious and Timeless Living Space with Professional Design

As a non-professional in home decoration, I believe that renovation isn’t about following trends but creating a livable space that stands the test of time. It should be durable and not easily become outdated, so you won’t get tired of it after just a few years.

I purchased a 90-square-meter apartment in Huangpu District as a marital home six years ago. Over time, the interior became worn-out, so I decided to demolish and completely renovate it.

Due to lack of time for material selection and supervision, plus concerns about DIY failures, I opted to hire a professional renovation company to save hassle.

However, I was wary of unreliable firms. After researching 11 companies online and offline for over two months, I narrowed it down to 4 for in-person visits. Some companies were evasive when discussing quotes and whether they had in-house workers.

Ultimately, only Xuan Yi provided transparent details like worker directories and individual fee records. Their contract clearly listed material brands, models, and prices, and they shared past renovation cases, which felt trustworthy.

To save space, the other side of the balcony features built-in cabinets in a recessed area for a washer-dryer set, keeping the surface flush and providing storage for clutter.

The original kitchen was narrow and cramped, with poor ventilation causing smoke issues. By enclosing the balcony and merging it with the kitchen, the space expanded significantly, making cooking convenient for two people.

The refrigerator fits perfectly into a tall cabinet, saving floor space, and wall cabinets extend to the ceiling to prevent dust accumulation, reducing cleaning needs.

The main bedroom was small with insufficient storage, while the bathroom had extra space. By reducing the bathroom area, an L-shaped walk-in closet was added, making the bedroom tidier and the bathroom still functional.
